Details
Estay Prieto Picudo 2020
Made from a little-known indigenous grape called Prieto Picudo, this Spanish red wine is produced in the northern Spanish region of Castilla y León.
Made from vineyards up to 20 years of age, Estay Prieto Picudo is produced by Dominio DosTares.
The harvest took place in October. Once in the cellar, the grapes were selected, destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with 3 daily pump-overs. Then this Crianza red wine was aged for 4 months in new American and French oak barrels. It was racked 3 times during the process.
Finally, Estay Prieto Picudo 2020 was gently filtered and aged for a further 6 months in the cellar before its release.
Pair this varietal red wine from Castilla y León with BBQ'd meat and braised vegetables.
